About this property

Lovely Uptown Mpls apartment!

Welcome to the vibrant, diverse Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis! Located just a few blocks from Lake Calhoun, Lake & Hennepin and Lyn-Lake shopping districts, this charming, vintage, non-smoking apartment (located within our duplex home; completely self-contained with a separate entrance) is available for rent year round.

Please note that we welcome guests of all ages, nationalities, races, religions (or lack thereof), languages and sexual orientation. No discrimination here, no profiling - just a warm welcome to all!

The apartment's entrance is through the back door on the alley side of the house, where guests have a dedicated off-street parking space big enough for a mid-size car, along with use of a lovely backyard with patio, table and chairs. The apartment has lots of board games, toys for the little ones, eclectic original art, and a Roku television with Netflix, Sling, and hundreds of streaming channels. High-speed wifi throughout for your streaming and internet needs, and a personalized guide to the neighborhood, with lots of restaurant recommendations and directions. Handheld remote-controlled mini-split heat, air conditioning and dehumidifier provide instant, silent comfort throughout the apartment no matter the season.

The apartment comprises the right half of the main floor of our duplex home and features a bedroom, living/dining room, small full bathroom, and kitchen. The serene bedroom features a queen-size bed with pillow-top mattress, memory foam topper, overhead fan, blackout curtains, and 100% cotton sheets and quilts and towels. Plenty of extra pillows, from memory foam to lightweight and soft.

The living/dining room contains a dining nook (seating for four), toys and books, an overhead fan and a small fold-down couch suitable for a child or small adult (there is also a cumbersome but comfy blow-up double air bed on legs in the closet). The kitchen is fully supplied with pots and pans, dishes, a full-sized refrigerator and gas stove/oven, microwave, coffeemaker, coffee grinder, French press, toaster and utensils. (No dishwasher.) Note that the living/dining room and bedroom can be closed off for privacy, while the bathroom can be accessed from both rooms.

The apartment has two closets and plenty of drawer space. Extras such as a hair dryer, iron and ironing board are included. Flower gardens surround both the house and the boulevard in season.

We love and welcome children of all ages. There are lots of toys and books for them in the apartment, along with baby supplies - a portable pack 'n play crib, a small stroller, and a bouncy seat - so you don't have to lug them along. Noise (crying babies, for example) doesn't bother us.

The Uptown and Lyn-Lake neighborhoods are renowned for their wide variety of restaurants, theaters, movies, shopping (both small indie shops and national branches), grocery stores both upscale and midscale, bars, music and people-watching. The apartment's "walk score" is 98 out of 100, which classifies it as a "walker's paradise."

If you like the great outdoors, you'll be in heaven. Bike trails, walking and running paths, sailing, canoe, kayak, paddle boarding, cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing, swimming and no fewer than ten gyms and yoga studios are all located within a few blocks. We are located three blocks in all directions from multiple bus lines, allowing quick access anywhere you wish to go in the metro area. The apartment is easily accessible via light rail and bus from the airport, plus Lyft and Uber, so if you'd like to avoid the cost of a rental car during your visit to Minneapolis, it's entirely possible.

Minneapolis is a beautiful city year-round, and we invite you to come enjoy it in all seasons. We love sharing our neighborhood with others and would be happy to help you with any questions you might have.

In addition to the apartment, please feel free to use the back yard with its patio, table and chairs, flowers, and herb and vegetable gardens. If you're arriving in winter with children, we have lots of sleds and saucers for your use, and we can give you directions to good nearby sledding hills.

Interaction with guests

I am a completely unobtrusive host (I myself dislike the hovering host syndrome) but happily available should you have questions or need anything, from restaurant and theater recommendations to insider tips on the best museums, places to take your children, runs around the lakes, and general sightseeing.

5/5 Excellent

Very convenient and comfortable
We were very pleased with the apartment; it was convenient, warm and comfortable. It is in a very nice neighbourhood only a few minutes walk from shops and restaurants. Alison is very helpful and considerate and we were pleased to meet and chat with her. It was great to be so close to our daughter and son-in-law and will certainly consider renting the apartment again.

Great choice
It is hard to imagine a better location if you want both quiet/privacy and walking access to the most vibrant parts of town. Alison is a great host, and the unit was clean, light and spacious. I intend to stay here in any future trips to Minneapolis

Great full time summer rental
My parents stayed for 3 months at Alison's property this summer. It was comfortable and in a good location in Uptown. Alison was a great host and even shared some of her garden vegetables with them. They will be staying again next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Alison McGhee

Host profile image
I am a writer who thrives on the freedom to work wherever I am. What do I love? Travel. Reading. Family and friends. Lively conversation. The great outdoors. Movies, both indie and b-grade blockbusters. Food, lots of it and well-made. Music, music, music and books, books, books. As your host, I will be completely unobtrusive (I myself dislike the hovering host syndrome) but happily available should you need directions, restaurant/shopping recommendations, or walking and biking and running and gym tips. If I'm in a baking mood you might find a basket of cookies hanging from your door.

Why they chose this property

I've lived in the Uptown neighborhood ever since I moved to Minneapolis (from New England) many years ago, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else in the city. It's a charming, quirky, unique area in which you can walk and bike or bus anywhere you need to go. I love living in a quiet residential neighborhood three blocks from all the hustle and bustle of Uptown's commercial district.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with our duplex the first moment I looked at it. It's a vintage home with beautiful woodwork everywhere, from gleaming hardwood floors to intricately carved moldings. It's a cozy, sweet, charming home and we love it.
